ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE NOTE : The graduations are manufactured to very close tolerances which provide suitable accuracyfor average woodworking . In some cases where extreme accuracy is required , make a trial cut and then recheck it . If necessary , the Miter Gauge head can then be swiveled slightly to compensate and then locked . The HEAD should be SQUARE ( 90 Â° ) withthe bar when the pointer points to " 0 " . To check for squareness , place an accurate square on the Miter Gauge . If the head is NOT SQUARE with the bar : 1 . Loose the lock handle . 2 . Position the head square with the bar , tighten the handle . 3 . Loosen the screw and adjust the pointer , so it points to zero .
